I need a new speedometer bezel

Post by Simper » Sat Apr 09, 2016 5:07 pm

I need a new speedometer bezel for my 1967 CA77. Anyone know where I can get one? I am going to have my speedometer rebuilt and my bezel is shot. I just need the bezel not the whole speedometer or it can be a broken speedometer.

Your best hope is to purchase a broken speedo. These are 50 year-old parts and I have not found anyone that sells seperate bezels.

Steer clear of any Fuji Electric speedo as they have a thin stainless bezel that is prone to cracking.....

I have a Fuji on mine currently and it is all split. Someone tried gluing it together. I really need a new one if anyone has one they want to sell.

Are all the Fuji ones electronic?

What makes it electronic? It has the speedometer cable attached. The needle flew off the other day it was whipping around, and off it came.

It's mechanical. You misunderstood G's post. "Fuji Electric" is the manufacture name printed on the face of the speedo.

OK, that makes sense. Sorry I'm new to all of this and it is a big learning curve for me. I appreciate the patients you have for a newbie.

I have a speedometer from my 'spare' bike that somebody pried the bezel off of. I don't remember what shape the bezel is in but if you would like it, I'll get a picture of it.

Do you need the glass as well?
